SANTORINI (THÍRA), GREECE
Gleaming villages perched on black rock make Santorini one of the most visually arresting islands in the Aegean. Its whitewashed capital of Thira perches on a cliff 1,300 feet above the sea; enjoy spectacular views of this magnificent city on a hill from our anchorage in turquoise waters. Dating to the early Bronze Age, Thira's winding streets are a delight to explore and its charming cafés invite lingering respites in the Cyclades sun. Not to be upstaged, the island and its surrounding islets also offer opportunities to experience fully the natural volcanic splendor, from thermal spring soaks to caldera hikes. And despite the harsh volcanic soil, Santorini's viticulture is rich and thriving and boasts a 5,000-year history.
